Categories     side-dish

Time 8h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
3 medium shallots, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
2 cloves garlic, lightly smashed
2 sprigs fresh oregano
2 bunches medium asparagus (about 2 pounds), woody ends trimmed and discarded
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Stir together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, shallots, garlic and oregano in a medium bowl. Pour the marinade into a 1-gallon resealable plastic storage bag, add the asparagus and seal the bag closed. Place the bag in a bowl or on a plate (just in case it leaks) and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 to 24 hours, flipping a couple of times.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat. While the grill heats up, remove the asparagus from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Season liberally on all sides with salt and pepper.
  • Place the asparagus on the hot grill and cook, flipping as needed, until crisp-tender and charred in spots, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a platter, garnish with the chopped parsley and serve immediately.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH GAZPACHO VINAIGRETTE



Grilled Asparagus With Gazpacho Vinaigrette image

A recipe from the famous Hotel Galvez in Galveston, Texas. And now a little history: After the Great Storm of 1900-when a massive hurricane devastated Galveston, Texas - a group of prominent businessmen, dedicated to the economic recovery of the island, knew there was a desperate need of a luxury beachfront hotel to fill the void that was left when the Beach Hotel burned down in 1898. At a cost of more than $1 million, the St. Louis firm of Mauran & Russell designed and built Hotel Galvez - a six-story Spanish Colonial Revival building named for Bernardo de Galvez, the Spanish colonial governor who chartered the Texas Gulf Coast and for whom the city is named. When it opened in 1911, the luxury hotel offered 275 elegant guestrooms, some with private baths. In 1912, Hotel Monthly billed it as one of the "most richly furnished seaside hotels in America". The public areas featured a barbershop, candy shop, drugstore, soda fountain and Gentleman's Bar & Grille. Roller chairs lined the front of the hotel for those wanting to take a trip along the famed Seawall Boulevard. In 1918, Hotel Galvez hosted more than 400 guests each day, with room rates starting at $2 per night. In the 1920s, the first bathing beauty contests in the nation were held at the hotel, with future movie stars Joan Blondell and Dorothy Lamour as participants. During the '20s and '30s, Hotel Galvez became known as the "Playground of the Southwest", as hundreds of celebrities and dignitaries stayed there. Notable guests included Presidents Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, Lyndon Johnson and John Kennedy, as well as General Douglas MacArthur, Phil Harris, Alice Faye, Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Stewart and Howard Hughes. On October 3, 1940, W.L. Moody Jr. acquired Hotel Galvez. During World War II, the hotel served as a living and working facility for the U.S. Coast Guard. In 1950, Moody's hotel chain, National Affiliated Hotels, added a motel on the east side of the main building. In 1965, the owners spent more than $1 million to refurbish the hotel. Another million-dollar-plus renovation was undertaken by the next owners, Harvey O. McCarthy and Dr. Leon Bromberg, who acquired the hotel in 1971. Hotel Galvez changed hands again in 1978, when it was purchased by well-known heart surgeon Denton Cooley, who had a long-standing sentimental attachment to it. Not only had he stayed there as a child and medical student, but his parents spent their wedding night at the hotel in 1916. Cooley sold half of his interest to Archie Bennett Jr., president of the Mariner Corporation. In 1980, the partners spent one year and more than $12 million renovating the hotel, after which it was named to the National Register of Historic Places. The most recent renovation was brought about through the efforts of Galveston preservationists and developers George and Cynthia Mitchell, who attained ownership of Hotel Galvez in March of 1993. Since June 1, 1998, Wyndham International as Wyndham Historic Hotels has managed the hotel. Today, Hotel Galvez stands proudly as "Queen of the Gulf", fully restored to its original glamour while continuing to offer gracious hospitality, old-world charm and new-world conveniences. Adapted from the cookbook Recipes from Historic America by Linda and Steve Bauer.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH BALSAMIC SYRUP



Grilled Asparagus With Balsamic Syrup image

I made this tonight for dinner and it was wonderful. Original recipe is from my Webber Cookbook and I've changed it up for us.

Provided by Nimz_

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 garlic clove, smashed
1/2 lb medium asparagus (about 20 spears)
1 1/2 tablespoons hot pepper oil (I use my Hot Pepper Oil)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan bring the vinegar to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Reduce the heat until just a few bubbles break through the surface.
  • Add the smashed garlic.
  • Cook at a slow simmer until about 1/4 cup of vinegar remains (about 20 minutes).
  • If you cook too quickly or it reduces too much, it will turn bitter rather than sweet.
  • Remove the sauce pan from the heat and let cool to room temperature (The syrup will continue to thicken as it cools).
  • Heat grill to medium heat.
  • Remove and discard all tough, woody ends from the asparagus spears.
  • Wash and pat dry.
  • Lightly coat the asparagus with the Hot Pepper Oil.
  • Season evenly with the salt and pepper.
  • Brush the cooking grate clean.
  • Lay the asparagus perpendicular to the bars on the grate.
  • Grill over direct medium heat with the lid closed as much as possible, until lightly charred and crisp-tender, 4-6 minutes, rolling the spears a couple of times and swapping their positions as needed for even cooking.
  • Arrange the asparagus on a platter or individual plates.
  • Remove the garlic from the syrup.
  • If the syrup is stiff, warm it briefly over medium heat.
  • Drizzle some of the syrup over the spears (you may not need all of it.).
  • Season with more salt, if desired.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.
